James Purnell is to be funded at £275k/yr from the effective tax that is raised as a poll tax on UK households.

This shows you a number of the most disgusting about the BBC:

1) Happy to employ a left wing politician to a very high paid job.
2) Its funded at an amazingly high level by a compulsory levy on every TV holding household ( that's near enough everywhere ).
3) It burns that money with the utter a total contempt that you get with left wing socialist organisations as they destroy other peoples money. ( See its Salford and Broadcasting house fiasco's for details - plus the number of BBC staff at any major left wing world event ).

Now we have rival entertainment systems such as LoveFilm and Netflix - who even have started commissioning their own programs. We spend most of the little TV time we have watching Netflix.

Frankly I'd like to drop the BBC and save my cash.

The BBC seems hell bent on polluting the minds of my children with its Fabian filth ( see BBC3 is you can stomach it, and even CBBC which runs a life style left wing indoctrination message through most of its output ).

Time to cut of the money supply to Mr Purnell very generous benefactors.

If you spend all your time watching 'on demand' services via broadband, then you don't need a licence. I got rid of mine several years ago because I had just started watching more and more streams via my PC and got fed up with parting with £140 to the BBC for precisely the reasons you detail.

I stopped paying about 18 months ago. When things like this happen I am happy that it is the right decision. I get very little bother from TV Licensing and it is easy to deal with (don't answer any letters, don't open the door, don't say anything to an inspector if you meet one).

Note that this position was created for him whilst he was still a member of the Labour Party, and it is "Director of Strategy". I used to laugh at people who suggested that there is a long term plan to turn Britain into a socialist state...

No democracy for England

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude."
Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
